A member asked:
Can you have a herpes outbreak after having anal sex if you have herpes on your anus?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Most definitely!: People who have sexual intercourse who have vaginal, perianal, penile, and/or oral herpes, have an obligation to inform any sexual partner. Herpes is forever! remitive drugs should be used and barrier protection (condom for men) is a must!
